Letterhead/Preprinted paper
When loading preprinted paper, the printed side should be facing up
with an uncurled edge at the front. If you experience problems with
paper feeding, turn the paper around. Note that print quality is not
guaranteed.
• Must be printed with heat-resistant ink that will not melt,
vaporize, or release hazardous emissions when subjected to the
machine’s fusing temperature for 0.1 second (about 170°C
(338°F)).
• Must be non-flammable and should not adversely affect machine
rollers.
• Before you load preprinted paper, verify that the ink on the paper
is dry. During the fusing process, wet ink can come off preprinted
paper, reducing print quality.
